Love it or Hate it Prototyped Mini Mirrors

Well I am working on a carbon kevlar mini mirror set that I am building, So I came up with a prototype set im testing as far as a baseplate and mirrors and what not and this is what I came up with as of now.

forgot to mention these arnt forsale so mods dont delete!

Final ones will be made of carbon kevlar with carbon base plates and the mirror will be tinted blue for glare at night
I have to say the fit on them is perfect!

Let me know what you think good or bad. I know its a love hate situation!

I don't fancy mini mirrors, but I can appreciate clean work. Looks like you spent some time in creating it so props on that.

I like them minus the bolts. If you switched to some kind of flush mount ones it would look a lot better.

Looks great! Try to find yourself some black "button head" allen bolts. I think you can find them at home depot in the hardware section.
